Whether you’re looking to sell bags in a shop, raise your profile at events, or use the bags to support a marketing campaign, GoJute bags are the perfect way to get your brand in front of lots of people.

What is Jute?

Often called ‘The Golden Fibre’ due to its bold natural colour, jute is an affordable, highly versatile, strong, and eco-friendly material.

The Jute Plant

Our bags begin life in India as a fast growing, sustainable plant called jute.

Mature jute is harvested by hand and bundled together. Later the leaves are removed (defoliation).

Retting

The harvested stalks are submerged for around 20 days where natural micro-organisms decompose the plant material so the fibres can be separated in a process known as retting.

Dried & Delivered

The stripped fibres are air-dried in the sun for 2-3 days. It is then tied and bundled up and loaded onto lorries by the local farmers, where they are transported to the mill to be processed.

At The Mill

The fibres go through many processes such as selection, softening, carding and spinning. The yarn can then, if required, be dyed to any colour.

Jute Fabric

The yarn is woven into the jute fabric that is used for our bags and a number of other textiles.
